Zaranj Airport

1

Zaranj Airport was an airport located in the city of Zaranj, Nimruz Province, Afghanistan. It was replaced by the newly constructed Nimruz Airport, located 17 km east of the city. As of 2020, Zaranj Airport is no longer listed in the Afghan Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP). Sitting at an elevation of 1592 ft above sea level, Zaranj Airport has one gravel runway measuring around 2000 x. Plans to replace the airport emerged in 2011, with the new Nimruz Airport being located 17 km east of the city. Flight safety was one of the reasons cited that led to the construction of the new airport. Construction began on 1 November 2011. Two runway excursions in 1995 and 2008 resulted in damage to nearby houses.
